<p>If you&#8217;re driving a truck that weighs several thousand pounds you should probably avoid trying to use your feet as brakes if your braking system is broken, unfortunately a 24-year-old driver in Michigan didn&#8217;t get that memo, causing two collisions with oncoming traffic.</p>
<p>Amazing the driver was able to get his truck to stop two times during his display of stupidity, not a small feet (no pun intended) with a vehicle of that size.</p>
<p>The sad part of this story? The man knew his brakes were broken and told police he was &#8220;planning to fix them&#8221; when he finally made it home, while a tow truck could have saved him a lot of cash which will be paid out due to the accidents he caused.</p>
<p>A police spokesman said of the driver:</p>
<blockquote><p>“This guy’s no rocket scientist,” while adding, &#8220;Citizens were calling in [to police] saying this guy is all over the road, using his feet.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>It probably won&#8217;t surprise anyone to learn that the man was driving on a suspended license and that police charged him with reckless driving.</p>
<p>In other news, if a new Flintstones movie is ever filmed he could easily drive one of their prehistoric feet powered vehicles.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the video of the man&#8217;s attempts to stop using his feet:</p>
<p><object width="560" height="345" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_hFW3Pp3sJ4?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="560" height="345" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_hFW3Pp3sJ4?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></p>
<p>Police called the drivers foot braking idea an exhibit in &#8220;moronic decision making&#8221; and I couldn&#8217;t agree more.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re breaks were to go out, how would you try to stop your vehicle? Surely not with your feet hanging out the door.</p>
